What camber plates / top mounts for Ohlins?

[Jakecox86]

Hi guys / gals

I've recently got myself a set of Ohlins MI20 coilovers for my 86, I'm totally chuffed with them but I'm currently looking for a set of camber plates / top mounts so I can dial in the camber (I'm not really wanting to use OEM and camber bolts unless I have to)

I'm from the UK and there seems to be no option over here at all for them so I've had to come here in search for them. The main two I have been looking at are the Raceseng ones (They are a little on the pricey side especially by the time I have had to pay import fees & shipping I expect I wouldn't have much change from £600-650) The other ones are ground control which are a little cheaper but not massively, how do they compare to Raceseng?

The other ones I have seen are Vorshlag, I haven't heard much about these so if anyone is running them how are they getting on? It's handy they come with front and rear for around the same price as the Ground Control ones - https://vorshlag-store.com/collectio...t=567713988627

Thanks in advance
Jake

How much camber do you need?

I'd be looking around -2.5 degree

I saw yesterday the video with Mark Higgins driving the BRZ at TT (Isle of Man), he had
1mm/wheel toe in/-1.70 degrees camber rear
1mm/wheel toe out/-2 Degrees camber front for tarmac use!!!

You'll probably screw up your ride quality with camber plates. Some bolts in front and bushings in the back might get what you need.

JIM THEO: hard to believe. It should normally be other way around toe wise.

As for OP .. IIRC Ohlins were slightly lower then stock shocks. That + camberbolts in both holes, and you should get your -2.5 camber even with still using stock topmounts. There, saved money and not worsened NVH.

Why this, rear end needs to be stable for faster laps so less camber than front and some toe in help on this while toe out at front gives better steering response.
You can see it by yourself on youtube.
I had in mine almost the same settings (zero toe rear) but I think I'll try some toe in back just to compare how it drives.

Have a look at the DMS/MooreSport top mounts.
Pretty much the best out there, heaps of adjustment and easy to do, if you are going from Street to track and back, take a couple of minutes to do.

I checked out that video and the car looks to be stock, it even has the stock catback. I wouldn't quote those camber numbers as a proper setup being we don't know what his class limitations are. A little toe in on the rear is common for stability. You run less camber in the rear because the rear suspension geometry gains camber through it's travel more quickly then the front.

Agree, if with standard setup it needs so much camber imagine how much needs with coilovers, I mention it mainly for the toe in rear and toe out front (that was my choice anyway) and the less camber in the rear no matter if it is for road or track use!
